Your questions about shower tray repair in North End

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Common problems we fix in North End

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
